Six Sentence Sunday - here goes...this is from a story I may re-edit one day:)...it's a space opera, I think, but the characters are loads of fun (at least to me:). This is a scene early in the novella when the hero and heroine are faced with something new.
“Hey, guess what?” Brian was suddenly next to her naked and tugging the rubber band from his ponytail as he ducked his head under a rush of falling water. “I’ve been reassigned.”
The bar of soap slipped from Newton’s hands and slid across the wet tile floor. “Where to?” The hitch in her voice surprised her.
Hope you enjoy, and don't forget to go and read more Six Sentence Sunday contributions. Have a great day!
Her name makes me think of Aliens.
ReplyDeleteBut something tells me she's not going to be happy about what he's been reassigned to. Well done!
Great six, Denny! I love space operas. :) Happy Sunday!
ReplyDeleteNice! Great descriptions--not heavy-handed, just the way I like 'em :) Voice is compelling too. I'd definitely read on. Thanks for the read!
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed reading your selection, Denny. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteInteresting: the setting's exotic but the emotion's immediately recognizable.There's stronger feeling under the surface than anyone's admitting. A swift and muscular six.
